1 Installation Overview
This guide provides instructions for installing, configuring, and deinstalling Oracle Business Intelligence on a single computer using the Simple Install type. The Simple
Install type installs Oracle Business Intelligence products with the default settings in the minimum number of steps.
1.1 What is Installed
The Oracle Business Intelligence installation media includes the following products, with all the technology required to install, configure, and run them:
■
Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Answers, Dashboards, Delivers, Repository Administration Tool, Office, and Oracle Business Intelligence
Publisher
■
Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher
■
Oracle Real-Time Decisions
Note: The Simple Install type is ideally suited for standalone,
single-user deployments, such as for demonstration, evaluation, or development purposes. You cannot scale out, add components to, or
use the Configuration Assistant on instances of Oracle Business Intelligence that are installed with the Simple Install type.

You can install one, two, or all three of these products using Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer. Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer creates all the
run-time components and the infrastructure for the products you choose to install. After running Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Installer, the installed products share
the same Oracle Fusion Middleware infrastructure in a single WebLogic domain.
All Oracle Business Intelligence products intended for a WebLogic domain must be installed and configured at the same time. You cannot install some products now and
then install others to the same WebLogic domain later. For example, if you choose to install and configure Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition but not Oracle
Real-Time Decisions, you cannot later add Oracle Real-Time Decisions to the WebLogic domain. Similarly, any WebLogic domains that contain Oracle Business Intelligence
11g products should not be later extended to include other Oracle Fusion Middleware products.
1.2 What is Configured
When you select the Simple Install type, the installer uses default configuration settings for all components.
To perform the configuration, you specify the folder where you want the installer to install Oracle Business Intelligence. The folder you specify becomes the Middleware
home. If the folder does not exist, the installer creates it for you. If you select an existing folder, the folder must be empty.
For more information about the Middleware home, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.
